Bat conjecture for finite length spectra of convex polygons
Bat conjecture for finite length spectra of convex polygons
Let , and let and be convex -gons. A primitive closed geodesic is a closed geodesic that is not a nontrivial iterate of a shorter closed geodesic; consider the lengths of such geodesics in each polygon. Bat conjecture. For each , there exists such that, if the lengths of primitive closed geodesics of and coincide, then and are identical up to a rigid motion. This is motivated by the analogy with bats locating objects from finitely many sound-return times. The source gives no resolution.
